Dupont Decks is a family-owned business that was founded by Justin Dupont in January 2000. Justin worked for many years as a crew foreman for other construction and remodeling companies and noticed that most of the companies lacked in the area of communication and customer service. Being a homeowner himself, he knew that customer service and communication were two of the most important qualities needed in running a successful remodeling business. And so Dupont Decks was created. We take great pride not only in our excellent craftsmanship, unique custom building and design process and high quality materials, but also in the fact that we treat our customers just like we would want to be treated if we were doing a deck or porch project on our own home. We know that our customers are the most important part of our business. If you are considering doing a deck or porch project on your home, we invite you to call our office today for a free estimate and we thank you for considering us for your home improvement project. We are happy to offer Senior Citizens (age 65+) and Military Service Members a 5% discount on services with a max cap of $500 on this discount.
"Highly recommend Dupont Decks!! They just completed tearing out my old deck and replacing it with a new design. Family owned and operated they are very responsive, detail oriented, and overall awesome to work with. Brooke advocated for us with the City when they wanted something ridiculously changed that would only add costs - and she won! Super honest, hard workers, fair pricing, great work. Showed up exactly when they said they would, completed the work in less time than quoted, and no Change Orders. If you are looking for a great deck company that's small enough to care but big enough to do a great job, call Dupont!"

"What great service! I emailed a query on a Saturday and received a reply within a few hours. When Bill and Dane came to evaluate and measure for preparing an estimate, the arrived within the expected timeframe. They took off their shoes to walk around, and provided good explanations about options. Their estimate was similar in cost to another one. In addition to their friendliness and helpfulness, one of the reasons I chose Gunner to do the job was that they had a portable machine for blowing insulation. I was thrilled when I found that out. (Otherwise, there would have been the hassle of having a really long hose going through the condo building, and I would have needed to have someone watch the propped-open security door the whole time.) On the day of the job, one worker arrived within 15 minutes of the set time -- which was acceptable given that he was coming from Chisago City down to Eagan. He laid down lots of drop cloths and drilled the holes. An issue arose when he discovered that there was some old insulation in the walls shared by adjoining units. He found that out after drilling one hole, and immediately told me that meant they couldn't blow cellulose into those walls. The company adjusted the price a bit to compensate for that. The two other workers arrived a bit after the prep work was done, so I'd given them an A- for punctuality. After the job was done, they did a great job cleaning up. There was a problem with their relatively new vacuum breaking down, but they finished the clean up using mine. Overall: excellent! My only disappointment is that the Gunner guys don't provide mudding the holes as part of the service; they insert plugs, but that's it. They will arrange for another contractor to do the mudding/patching, but, due to the distance their local guy would have had to drive, that option was too expensive. (Another company's estimate for insulation included their guys patching the holes, "feathered" for flat and stable, with only some light sanding needed. I would have gone with them, except they didn't have a portable machine.)"

Our other specialties include building custom homes, additions, four season porches, outdoor kitchens, gymnasiums. You dream it we have the skill and experience to build it. Additional email - wayne@sandauinc.com.
"I reached out to them and asked for a bid on some interior renovation projects and new windows. Annika and Brian came to my home on 2/16/22, we discussed options, and I was told I would receive an estimate in about a week and a half. After more than a month I still had not received anything, so I called their office on 3/10/22. I spoke to Annika who said she was working on my estimate even as we spoke, and that I would have something by end of day. It is now 4/7/22 and I have not heard anything from them. If you don't have the time for my projects, fine. Just be grown-ups and tell me that. I had a substantial budget, so that wasn't the issue. I was seriously considering moving forward with your bid for ALL new windows in my house, but if this is how you treat customers, then it's a hard pass for me. Some common courtesy and communication are simply the bare minimum that a consumer should expect. Do better, please."

Pressure-treated wood decks typically last between 15 and 25 years with proper maintenance. Factors influencing longevity include local weather conditions, maintenance frequency, wood quality, and usage patterns. Regular sealing provides critical moisture protection, while prompt repairs prevent small issues from causing structural problems. Without proper care, even quality pressure-treated lumber may deteriorate significantly faster.
Most localities require building permits for deck construction, particularly for structures attached to your home or elevated above a certain height. Permit requirements vary significantly between jurisdictions, with costs typically ranging from $50 to $250. Skipping required permits may result in fines, forced removal, or complications when selling your property. Always check with your local building department before beginning construction.
While deck construction occurs year-round in many regions, late spring through early fall typically offers optimal building conditions. However, scheduling during off-peak seasons (late fall or winter) often secures better contractor availability and potentially lower rates. Weather considerations include avoiding periods of excessive rain or freezing temperatures that could complicate concrete work or wood installation.
Newly installed pressure-treated lumber requires a drying period before accepting stain or sealer properly. This waiting period typically ranges from four weeks to three months depending on your climate and the wood's initial moisture content. Testing readiness by sprinkling water on the surface helps determine when the wood will accept treatment—if water beads up, continue waiting; if it absorbs quickly, the deck is ready for staining.
